The group visited the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila and the University of the Philippines Manila. At the basilica, they observed the grand exterior and interior of the large church. They then explored the UP Manila campus, noting the similarity in architectural style between the school buildings and their own. As interior design students, they found inspiration in the timeless classical details of both old and modern structures.
2. ï‚— Our group was assigned to have a research and visit the Minor Basilica
of the Black Nazarene or the Quiapo Church and the University of the
Philippines – Manila. The Quiapo Church was our first destination.
Actually, it was my first time to go there, and I can say that it is one of
the biggest churches I’ve been to. The exterior part of the church is
dressed by intricate motifs and grand architectural details. Also, the
interior part was great. Then, the second place we explore was the
University of the Philippines- Manila including the Philippine General
Hospital and its buildings, halls and colleges. Also, it was my first time
to go in UP Manila. Upon entering the campus, the UP buildings were
placed apart having a similarity with our school (PUP). The
architectural style of the buildings was more of western touch like
using the pendentives and Greek orders. The architectural details and
motifs were simple but great.
ï‚— From its smallest details to overall grandeur, the buildings were
brought us to a timeless appeal for both younger and older generations.
And as an Interior Design student, it was important to explore new
things to indulge ourselves from both old and modern trends.

6. ï‚— Famously and widely known as the Quiapo Church
especially due to its location in District of Quiapo,
Manila, in the Philippines.
ï‚— It is one of the famous and most visited churches of
the Philippines, mainly because of the reason, that
Filipinos are known to believe in miraculous images,
and one these treasured images is the Black Nazarene,
a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ, which resides
in this very Church.
7. ï‚— On 29 August 1586, Governor-General Santiago de Vera founded the
District of Quiapo as a suburb of Spanish Manila. The Franciscan
Missionaries built the first church on the site, using bamboo for the
frame and nipa palm as thatching. Saint Pedro Bautista, a Franciscan
missionary and martyr, was one of the founders of the Quiapo Church
and several other churches in what is now Metro Manila and Laguna.
The original church burned down in 1639 and was replaced by a
stronger edifice, which was partially destroyed by an earthquake in
1863.
 Under the supervision of Rev. Eusebio de León and Rev. Manuel Roxas,
the third church was completed in 1899. Roxas had raised the
unprecedented amount of ₱40,000.00 from donations and lay
contributions. On 30 October 1928, the church again caught fire and
was almost completely destroyed. Doña Encarnación NakpÃl de Orense,
then the head of the Parish Committee, raised funds for the
reconstruction. Filipino National Artist, architect Juan Nakpil (the son
of composer Julio Nakpil) added the dome and a second belfry to the
edifice.
